Big White Ski Resort Delays Summer Opening Day to July 7

Due to colder than average temperatures, spring snowfall, and the inability for our outdoor crews to get to some of the biking and hiking trails on the mountain, the resort has made the tough decision to delay summer opening by a week.

"In an ideal world, we'd have our trails open for all of our local mountain bikers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy Big White every summer," says Michael J. Ballingall, Senior Vice President, Big White Ski Resort Ltd. "But, at this point in time, we don't predict we can do it safely by our original opening date of June 30. Despite this delay, we have plenty for people to look forward to this summer: the return of Craft and Country, Beer and Mountain Music Festival and Freeride Days to name a few."

As you can see from the pictures and video, there is still plenty of snow, and due to the amount of rain the area has received in recent weeks, a lot of mud and impassible areas on the mountain.
